HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
May 14, 1864-6.30 p. m.

Major-General WARREN:

Where is that musketry firing? Is it in your front, Wright's or Burnside's?

A. A. HUMPHREYS,

Major-General and Chief of Staff.

MAY 14, 1864.

Major-General HUMPHREYS:

The musketry firing has been along the Ny River, in front of General Wright; not much of it. I am moving Ayers, with 1,000 men, out to take this force of the enemy on their left flank.

Major-General.

What is all the cannonading about?

MEADE.

MAY 14, 1864.

General MEADE:

It is General Wright. It might as well be stomped. My men will advance if it does. I think the enemy has retired from the house.

G. K. WARREN,

Major-General.

[MAY 14, 1864]

General WRIGHT:

I think the enemy has left the house. My infantry will move on when your batteries stop. Move your infantry, too.

Major-General.
